The Rebirth of Li Fei: The Strongest Palace Fighting System

Su Peisheng smiled and said:

"My Lady Bi looks so good today. The Emperor has been worried about state affairs these days. I'm sure his mood will improve after seeing you two ladies."

When Huanbi heard this, a blush flashed across her face. She lowered her head a little awkwardly and said softly:

"Thank you for the compliment, Eunuch Su."

......

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

"Get up and sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

In accordance with the emperor's order, Huanbi and I sat on the specially given stools.

The flickering candlelight in the hall illuminated the emperor's slightly tired face.

When he inadvertently looked up and his eyes fell on Huanbi's face, he was slightly stunned, as if he was trying hard to recall something.

The emperor coughed lightly, breaking the silence:

"Huanbi is dressed up especially charmingly today, which really makes my eyes light up."

When Huanbi heard this, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks, and she whispered:

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This dress was given to me by Sister Zhen a few days ago. She said she couldn't wear it anymore, so she gave it to me."

When the emperor heard this, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and he said slowly:

"Oh...how's Zhen Yingda doing these days?"

Huanbi's expression dimmed slightly, and she said softly:

"Sister Zhen is under house arrest right now. Although she has enough food and clothing, she can't go out all day. I'm sure she's not in a good mood..."

After she finished speaking, she bit her lips lightly, and a hint of imperceptible displeasure flashed in her eyes.

The emperor's glance made her involuntarily become the shadow of Zhen Huan, which naturally made her quite unhappy.

Seeing this, I quickly took over the conversation:

"I will occasionally visit Sister Zhen at Suiyuxuan, Your Majesty, please rest assured. This time, I came to inform you that Concubine Xia is pregnant..."

I briefly reported Xia Dongchun's recent condition to the emperor, with a hint of lightness in my tone:

"Your Majesty, Concubine Xia is doing well and the pregnancy is stable. You can rest assured."

I know that the emperor's mind is not entirely here at the moment. His eyes occasionally wander, as if he is thinking about other things.

After hearing this, the emperor just nodded slightly:

"Okay, that's fine. Lady An has always been meticulous and thoughtful in her work. I am truly relieved to have you around."

Then, the emperor suddenly turned to look at Huanbi:

"I've been busy with government affairs recently, and I haven't seen Bi Da Ying for a long time. I've also neglected you and the other concubines of Sui Yu Xuan..."

In Sui Yuxuan, apart from Huanbi and Zhen Huan, there are no other concubines.

Although the emperor said this to Huanbi, his implication was more about Zhen Huan, whom he was thinking about all the time.

The emperor paused and continued:

"I'll go to your place for dinner tonight, and by the way...by the way, I'll also go to see Zhen Da Ying."

Huanbi heard this and a smile of surprise and joy appeared on her face. She quickly stood up and saluted, with a barely perceptible tremor in her voice:

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

I looked at Huanbi's back with mixed feelings. I was happy that she could win the emperor's favor, but I also felt a little sad that she could not get rid of Zhen Huan's shadow.

......

Time flies, and before we know it, another half month has passed.

I was calculating the day when Xiaotao would return, and it was only ten days away.

Baojuan walked into the house with a happy face and said with a smile:

"My lady, we are now fully staffed. We have already finished embroidering all the 1,900 taels of material we bought last time, and we have made more than three times the profit!"

I was delighted:

"That's great! This is all the result of your hard work. Baojuan, go call everyone over and I'll give you some as before."

Baojuan responded and turned to make arrangements. Soon, a group of embroiderers gathered in the room, their faces brimming with joy and anticipation. I distributed the silver to each of them, and seeing their grateful expressions, I felt a sense of accomplishment.

After the distribution was completed, I took out another two thousand taels of silver notes from the drawer and handed them to Baojuan:

"Baojuan, this is two thousand taels. Take it to Liang Duorui and buy some more materials."

There are many advantages to getting material from Liang Duorui. First, we can buy large quantities of high-quality material at a relatively low price. Second, Liang Duorui is a shrewd man and will definitely make some money from this. This will also increase the index between us.

"Ouch, ouch! My face, my face!"

Just as I was immersed in my future plans, a sudden burst of rapid shouting broke the silence. It was Xia Dongchun's voice, filled with fear and anger.

My heart tightened and I quickly got up and rushed to Xia Dongchun's east wing hall.

The moment I stepped into the east side hall, I was shocked by the scene before me. Xia Dongchun was sitting in front of the mirror, covering her face with her hands, her eyes full of fear and helplessness.

Her face was already red and covered with tiny red rashes, which were obviously symptoms of allergies.

That originally pretty face now looked as if it had been burned by fire, making it unbearable to look at.

"Who is it? Who wants to harm me this time?"

Xia Dongchun's voice was tearful and she roared angrily, as if looking for the invisible enemy.

I walked quickly to her side and asked softly:

"Sister Xia, didn't you stop using the cinnabar incense burner? Why did it become like this again?"

I tried to comfort her, but found that her eyes were empty, as if she didn't hear what I said.

"How could my face become like this! What should I do if…if the emperor sees me in the future?

"Her tone was full of despair and fear, as if the whole world collapsed at this moment.

"Sister Xia, don't worry. I'll call the imperial physician right away. He will definitely be able to heal your face. Don't worry."

So, I quietly and slowly retreated, trying not to make any noise. Xia Dongchun was still immersed in panic and didn't notice my departure.

......

Not long after, Wei Lin arrived. He immediately spotted me standing quietly by the door, waiting for him. I hurried forward, and Wei Lin quickly bowed and greeted me.

"Good luck to you, noble man."

"Master Wei, please don't be polite."

"Lady Xia's face showed signs of allergy again, but this time she did not light the cinnabar incense burner."

When Wei Lin heard this, a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"What does the young master mean?"

"I didn't mean anything else. I just gave her some fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp are both nutritious, so there shouldn't be any harm..."

Wei Lin was very smart. He nodded and continued:

"My Lord, you are absolutely right. Fish and shrimp are nourishing. Unless you have a special physical condition, they should be fine..."

I interrupted him and whispered:

"If everything is fine, the dragon fetus is naturally the most important thing. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wei Lin paused slightly, then leaned forward and said:

"I understand. I will do my utmost to protect the dragon fetus."
